Hiroshige Otsu Tokaido Daimyo Procession Harbor Woodblock Poster
A daimyo procession in yellow rain capes winds along the harbor at Otsu. Boats and mountains frame this lively Hiroshige Tokaido scene.
Description
From Hiroshige's Tokaido road series, this print shows the great procession of a feudal lord arriving at Otsu with bearers in bright yellow cloaks. Junks ride at anchor while mountains rise behind the bay. The cartouche reads Otsu on the Tokaido. A vivid slice of Edo-period travel for history and Japan enthusiasts.
